Deep within the dwarven emperor's castle screams could be heard accompanied by the sounds of beating and a man yelling. Daedalus was chained to a wall where Artair was sending slaps filled with immortal energy at Daedalus' stomach.
As he was being beaten and in between the screams of pain Daedalus couldn't help but say "What do you mean by exposing me to immortal energy! You're literally beating it into me!"
Sadly anyone nearby could only hear the beatings continue while the screams got louder. Unfortunately after Daedalus had said what he said Artair never gave him another chance to speak until the day was over.
"Pain, everything is pain." Daedalus laid still in his bed. It had only taken an hour for him to sense the immortal energy but his uncle wouldn't even let him try to speak. Daedalus would complain to his aunt, he quickly decided.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Daedalus woke up feeling better, his stomach was nearly healed so he just sighed, he had after all decided to eat out his uncle to his aunt, see how he liked that.
Almost as if he could hear Daedalus' thoughts Artair suddenly walked in with a vile grin on his face, this time though, in his hands was a whip. Daedalus quickly said "Wait, wait. I can already sense immortal energy, just don't torture me anymore."
As he said this Daedalus practically teleported to the teleportation formation. Artair obviously chased him and stared at Daedalus as he grinned and activated a defensive formation. At the same time that Daedalus was feeling confident he revealed what he was about to do "I'm gonna tell aunty Ceridwen that you beat me ruthlessly for a day even though it only took an hour for me to sense immortal energy."
As he finished speaking Artair went pale and started attacking the defensive formation. It shuddered again and again under the immortal energy he was using. Daedalus however just smirked and said "Bye, bye."
Then in a flash of light Daedalus disappeared and reappeared in Ceridwen's palace. Daedalus didn't hesitate to follow the traces of immortal energy left from where she walked and quickly found her in the garden tending to plants.
Ceridwen could see the practically frantic look on his face almost the moment she sensed his presence and quickly said "What's wrong?"
As Daedalus was about to speak Daedalus heard Artair roar "Daedalus!"
With fear in his eyes Daedalus quickly said "Save me!"
It was then. Then that Artair appeared his face had somehow managed to go a pale red as steam poured from his nose. Daedalus' heart tightened at his appearance and he quickly hid behind Ceridwen while revealing the truth "He beat me for an entire day!"
Artair immediately froze in place and could barely gulp before he was planted well over a hundred metres into the ground. Ceridwen then looked him over and said "There are traces of immortal energy all over your stomach, that bastard!"
It was then that Daedalus played his trump card "He said he was going to help me sense immortal energy. It worked but I had managed to do it in an hour and he kept going for the entire day."
As he said this Daedalus used his full body control to have tears pour down his face as he hugged his aunt. As it had been a few years Daedalus had regressed to looking about fifteen so his appearance and height compared to Ceridwen brought out her full anger.
As you can see I wasn't in the mood for a serious chapter, I am also in a good mood so I hope you found this chapter as funny as I did.
I hope you enjoyed thanks for reading this chapter!!!

Just a quick note, so basically in the last chapter Daedalus was revealed to have regressed to that of a fifteen year old. This is the effect of his bloodline in a more mana rich environment, I had forgotten to update his appearance recently so I just wanted to take advantage of the chance. sorry for wasting your time. Please enjoy the chapter!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A week had past since 'The Incident', Artair was still in critical condition but with his immortal energy he was recovering at a phenomenal rate. Daedalus had in the meantime begun work on learning to absorb immortal energy.
Luckily for him the forest that the elven empire occupied was lush because of a place called 'The Hot Springs'. This location happened to be within the palace and the water within the hot spring was actually liquid immortal energy.
On any other occasion it would be impossibly dangerous, unless you had already started your path to immortality. So for the past week Daedalus had been sitting on a rock just above the water's surface trying to absorb the energy.
The reason he wasn't in the water itself was because Ceridwen said "You have to sit on that rock until you learn to absorb the energy, until then you can't get in the water."
Daedalus initially had though 'Oh this is no big deal.' and sat on the rock confidently. It was only an hour later he realised how wrong he was, the water was constantly tempting him to jump in. Through this Daedalus gained an incentive to push him to try harder, and it worked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daedalus had managed to absorb a little bit of immortal energy within the first two days and since then, no matter what, he had not left the hot springs. Though he wasn't just relaxing, he was also absorbing as much immortal energy he could handle, and that was a lot.
After Daedalus learned to absorb the immortal energy Ceridwen had come down and told him what the next few steps in cultivation where. The first was Immortal Tether, basically he had to cleanse his mortal tethers with immortal energy which would basically have the tethers go from automatically absorbing mortal energy to immortal energy.
The next stages where basically the same as the mortal stages except he was purifying his auras rather than forming them. Other than this information Ceridwen had also told him to practise his ability to control the immortal energy, and research his opponents of the other races as well as his allies from the elven race.
So that is exactly what he did, first Daedalus found a good spot in the hot springs where everything but his head was under water. Then he began to absorb the immortal energy towards only one of the mortal tethers. As doing this required a certain amount of control this allowed him to practise controlling the immortal energy.
It was on the fifth day that Daedalus had managed to purify two of his tethers and he decided to let them automatically gather immortal energy while he did his research. With an hour of him asking for books or information on the several topics Daedalus could be seen laying on a floating device with a book in his hands as well as a few pieces of paper with reports on the biggest competitors beside him.
And by the end of the seventh day Daedalus had managed to gather most of the information he needed for the tournament.
